Table-topping Arsenal have reached the halfway mark of their Premier League title push five points better off than the legendary Invincibles of 2003/04.
Under Arsene Wenger, the Invincibles were the last Gunners side to deliver the Premier League title – but Mikel Arteta's current crop look well on course to end the wait for top-flight crown number 14 following Sunday's thrilling 3-2 win against Manchester United.
Thanks to Eddie Nketiah's brace – including a 90th-minute winner – either side of a spectacular Bukayo Saka strike, Arsenal have racked up 50 points from their first 19 matches of the season, giving them a five-point lead over reigning champions Manchester City with a game in hand.
By comparison, the Invincibles trailed Manchester United by a point at the same stage. They eventually won the title by 11 points from Chelsea – without losing a single game, of course.
This Arsenal won't emulate that history-making team – they suffered their sole league defeat of the season so far in September's reverse fixture against United – but they're well on course to smash their overall points total of 90.
The Invincibles picked up 45 points in both halves of their triumphant campaign; if Arteta's young squad – the youngest in the league – collect 50 or more points from their final 19 fixtures, they'll become just the second team in Premier League history to hit the 100-point mark (after Man City in 2017/18).
